          <by role="member" id="3164">The Hon. S.G. WADE:</by>  Yesterday, the government launched an expressions of interest process as they tried to sell off the Repatriation General Hospital site. A plan included in the expression of interest documentation indicates that the government plans to sell off seven of the 10 heritage-listed buildings on the campus. This includes selling the old guard house and all of the 1940s-era buildings that face onto Goodwood Road. The government also plans to sell off the SPF Hall, a building that was paid for with funds raised by South Australian schoolchildren and the Red Cross during the Second World War.</text>
        <text id="201511194feb61da82574214a0000077">More than two months ago—on 10 September 2015, to be precise—I asked the minister to explain the processes that the government had followed to determine which of the Repat's heritage would be retained and which would be sold off. In reply, the minister said he would take further advice on that matter and bring back a cross-government response. Two months later, I do not believe that I have had a response. My questions to the minister are:</text>
        <text id="201511194feb61da82574214a0000078">1.&amp;#x9;When will the cross-government response be provided?</text>
        <text id="201511194feb61da82574214a0000079">2.&amp;#x9;Do I take it from the minister's comment about a cross-government response that he has been involved in the process of identifying heritage assets to be disposed of as heritage minister?</text>

As he has raised this issue in the past, and as I have indicated to the chamber, I will be seeking a response across many agencies of government that are impacted by this. I will bring back that response when it is prepared.</text>
